Patriotic Salvation Movement

The Patriotic Salvation Movement (MPS) is a nationalist political party in Chad, founded by General Idriss Deby on 11 March 1990. The party was founded in Sudan by opponents of the dictator Hissene Habre and his National Union for Independence and Revolution (UNIR), and it came to power on 2 December 1990 when its soldiers entered the capital of N'Djamena. The party became the ruling party under Deby's one-party system, advocating nationalism. In 2017, the party held 117/188 National Assembly seats.
